It was my pleasure to know Bill for the past 25 years at the ACGNJ. I hope he is busy in the help desk in heaven. His unyielding dedication to our country; the years of effort that he put in at RCA teams. And work that built satellite communications, Internet, voice and communications are from his hands. His ability to help people and the unfortunate children was absolutely stellar. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust - his memory lives on within transistors and chips. You were a hero and inspiration to all of the ACGNJ. Signing off, radio out Bill. Roger over and out.
